All I want to do is photograph birds and play Blood on the Clocktower.

All photos that I post are my own.

The Cormorants have returned to my local park!

Heron doing a wing thing! Plus a bonus magpie flying out of shot. (Apologies for poor photo quality.)

This is one of my favourite photos I've taken lately. A Cormorant after drying itself.

Life has been busy lately and this morning was the first time I've been out with my camera in a month! This Coot was working hard to feed its chicks.

One day I will win a game of Under Grove, but it wasn't today! 😅
Sunday afternoon playing Under Grove, from Kickstarter last year. Nice artwork and some science. Gives me Parting of the Sensory by Modest Mouse as an earworm. According to the score pad I have never lost a game of this, which makes me rate it a bit higher than I otherwise would #boardgames

Y'know, I don't think I had ever seen a Blackbird's tongue before.

Taken last Summer, this is the one and only time I've seen a Stonechat

A day when I see a Cormorant is a good day.

This Black-headed Gull seemingly misjudging how far above the water it is, to the shock/enjoyment of the other.

This Crow caused such a commotion in a tree before flying off with its prize. Taken this morning.

This is one of the most confusing signs I've seen.

I've seen so few Herons this year so far. Hopefully that will change soon! Taken a couple weeks ago #birds

I know it's not the best photo, but, more importantly, it is the first photo that I've taken of a Great Spotted Woodpecker. As they are one of my favourite species of birds, I'm delighted to have finally got a snap!

I saw a Mandarin Duck for the first time yesterday! It was on the water for about thirty seconds, then flew off. Got a few snaps though!

Such a lovely day to go for a walk with my camera! Saw duck chicks just as we were leaving.

Is this Canada Goose doing an impression of a Swan?
